A wonderful song from Nathaniel Rateliff... truly different and incredibly mesmerising
Standard tuning
Capo 2
nb on the C chord he plays a little hammer / pull on the D string.
Release the fretted 2nd fret to open and hammer on again... a nice little effect!
Intro on the C chord
--------------------
C
I was out there missing steps
G
When you swung around to me
C
Best and land, not to crash or
G
Pulling out too late
C
Call on everyone you ever knew
G
And plead
Pre-chorus 1
------------
Fmaj7C
Well I've been the bum who's underfed
Fmaj7C
I've been the one who should've said
Fmaj7
Maybe I'm wrong
CG
And I've always been that way
Chorus 1
--------
CAm
Are you tired do you feel
G
Wrung out
C
Have you fallen
AmG
From where glory sprouts
C
Are you cut off
AmG
In fields and pressed down
CAm
Like an early spring till
G
That don't come a-round
C
I think I've been there
Pre-Chorus 2
------------
Fmaj7C
I think I'm waiting too long
Fmaj7C
You try to this panting and paw
DmAmG
You set a course to cross me out
Chorus 2
--------
CAm
Are you tired and broken
G
Once so stout
CAm
Are you full of the feeling
G
Don't doubt it when it's gone
CAm
I could curl up this reel
G
And leave now
CAm
I could fill up with air
G
And scream so loud
C
I think I'm going to
-----------------------------------------
I hope I've done it justice!
